If a file is being accessed by another app, and you try access it or do something with it, it will block you. If you have a path to a file, and the path changes, you will obviously need the new path and theres nothing you can do about this. if you are only talking about using the changedir command, i dont see how another app could change the directory your app is refering to inside your own program. The command changedir you use in b3d is independent of other apps. If you were referring to other modules/functions within your code, then changedir in another function will influence the current directory youre viewing throughout the program. "actual directory" is also termed as, i think, the directory you start in.
